Event - Saturday at YVT (After Nada Yoga)
An evening of experiment and more sound and celebration of Spring...all are welcome. More information below:
Hello. How to say simply...The intention is to create a sacredconscious space without the use of any chants or words being associated with the singing we will create together. As a group we will first check in and offer our visions and aspirations for the shifting world....voice our prayers etc....then endeavoring to sing.
Sort of choir style. Everyone will sing long drawn out notes without much melody, rising in soft crescendo and descrescendos...No rules. People listen to the group sounds and the body of sound as a group will shift and change. .....like single note tones, drones. The whole group maintains the sound as a continuity so there is continuous sound...a single body of sound. The idea is to generate a spontaneous wave and flow of sound where waves of explosive harmony arise followed by intense dissonance...
Depending on how things go, we may do group visualizations of light etc integrated with the sound. As well, some movements walking into and awya from the center of the circle.
I chose saturday night bc of the full moon energy and its proximity to the equinox. This moon is the closest to our earth in its perogee since 19 some odd years....and likely has some connection to the japan earthquake last week. As a group, we can create a very conscious and deliberate body of sound that is alive with creative and loving energies, to inspire unity and dissolve the webs of fear and anxiety that are very prevalent in the world right now. The power to create and manifest change through conscious gathering....in a context that is not religious.....just primal sound.
This is something i have wanted to do for years....so this is an experiment. You and all are welcome to come. Theres no money involved.
Starts at 6:30!

Baird Hersey, Nada Yoga
RIDING THE BLISS
NADA YOGA: The Yoga of Sound
A Sound Meditation Class with Baird Hersey
“Unequaled bliss comes to the heart of the Yogi who hears the internal sound of the Nada.”
-The Nada-Bindu Upanishad
By bringing our minds to single pointed attention on the internal sacred sound, we quiet the chatter of the mind and experience a deep feeling of comfort and contentment.
This meditation, based on the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, will use the 4 levels of sound: Vaikhari (external sounds), Madhyama (mental sounds). Pashyanti (visual sounds), and Para, (the internal sound) to connect us with the Nada, the sound of bliss.
Climbing the Nada Mala: The 4 Levels of Sound
Seeing the Inner Light
Hearing the Anahata Nada
Riding The Bliss: Ancillary & Supportive Practices
Workshop will be held March 19, 2011
10:00 – noon
1:00 – 3:00
Cost is $40 – Register at Yoga Vermont
